Abraham  (TR: Nina) I am here, yes. I am ABRAHAM. I am with humble gratitude that we were able to attend this our Father's banquet. I pray you were each fed well. I realize there was so much to choose from. Many of you nibbled at a little bit of everything. Many only partook of a few dishes. I hope that the nourishment will sustain you in these days ahead.

The Father has prepared a place for each one of you at his table. Not one seat is higher than the next. He has carefully placed those utensils before you that you need to partake of the mortal life to gain the experience you need that points you Paradiseward. He has prepared dishes of practical spiritual sustenance. Everything you need to survive and thrive in your eternal career. The candles are lit and he beckons you to come.

[[The Father]] has [[prepared]] a place for each one of you at his table. Not one seat is higher than the next. He has carefully placed those utensils before you that you need to partake of the mortal life to gain the [[experience]] you need that points you [[Paradiseward]]. He has prepared dishes of [[practical]] [[spiritual]] sustenance. Everything you need to [[survive]] and thrive in your eternal career. The candles are lit and he beckons you to come.

There have been other prepared foods laid out upon the table made with man's recipe. Some mixed with temporary empty promises. Some dishes are elaborate and to show all who can outdo the Father. As practical spiritual reality takes hold we find these dishes to be tasteless without nutrients. You have the choice says your mortal will to choose what is right for you. You will taste many things but I would admonish you to look at what Father has prepared for the winter of this mortal life is long and you will need practical spiritual sustenance to survive.

Will you drink new wine in old skins or will you allow Father to fill your cup with the grapes of truth, beauty and goodness from His vineyard? Will you feast on the Father's ever sustaining morsels of practical spirituality or will you fatten on man's morsels of mortal ideas? Whichever you choose you know that your place is set. It is yours that will never change.

It is yours that will never [[change]].

What dishes can you prepare to bring to this Correcting Time? What would you feed your fellows? Recipes from the Father's all knowingness, all encompassing love or would you prepare a platter that will seem to impress your mortal counterparts but feeds them no nutrition whatsoever? What will you bring to the table?

What will you bring to the table?

The future of our Teaching Mission rests on your participation, your integrity, your ability to be small and use the Father's recipes. Can you stand aside and allow Father to help measure the truth. Add a pinch of beauty and stir that ever eternal pot of goodness.

The table is set, the Master has raised his glass in a toast. He invites you to join him in this experiential adventure of cosmic citizenry. The Supreme Being awaits. What will we choose to partake of? What will we choose to serve our fellows? Will we even come to the table?
